When locally I have discarded a big JAR file, when synchronizing with my 
server, it will retrieve the entire remote JAR content so as to show me the 
compare view information.

Note: there is no way for me to cancel this operation (JAR was about 3MB, and 
it took about 5 minutes to complete, during which the UI did not repaint 
itself). Basically, Eclipse was frozen during the entire process.

However, compare doesn't show me anything for a JAR content, which leads me to 
thinking that it should be more lazy in request the server file content (and 
offer user cancel facility).

This problem was partially fixed when Platform Compare started using double-
click to compare file contents. However, when the user does double-click, there 
is still no way to cancel the load.

Changed title from: "Eclipse freezing several minutes while synchronizing"
